# on wheels again....

Posted by lophix (91se) on September 15, 2003 at 02:27:17: After using my wheels for about 5 months so far without any major wear, I finally found out today that the offset on them is 45mm hence the passenger tire rubbing the inner fender wall....I have the opportunity to get another set of wheels with the same bolt pattern as ours but with the ffng: 17x8 rear 33mm offset & 17x7.5 front 33mm offset for literally nothing..i'm kinda wary of the 17x8 wide rear....I looked up on the mustang wheels topic under articles and noticed that we actually run 30 - 32 mm offset wheels (never knew that, no joke) any chance of the same probs? Likewise, also available are wheels: 235/45/18 fr 245/45/18 same offset at 33mm....najor rubbing issues here? If the former (17s above) will definitely not have any rubbing issues, then i might as well go ahead and swap out the ones i have now for them and be better off with no rubbing...sound right? Replys: The problem with wider rear wheels than front.... Lordrandall (92se5) 10:25:02 9/15/2003 (1) yes, that's what's available for cheap. i might pass on these and get rid of them if they are likely to give me probs.... lophix (91se) 10:59:24 9/15/2003 (0)
